I-Ukraine kunye neNtsomi yeMfazwe

NguBrad Wolf, World BEYOND War, Februwari 26, 2022

NgoSeptemba wokugqibela we-21st, kwisikhumbuzo se-40th yoSuku loXolo lwaMazwe ngamazwe, njengoko imikhosi yase-US yaphuma e-Afghanistan, umbutho wethu woxolo wasekhaya wagxininisa ukuba asiyi kupheza sithi hayi kwiifowuni zemfazwe, ukuba ezo fowuni ziya kuza. kwakhona, kwaye kungekudala.

Akuzange kuthathe xesha lide.

Ukusekwa komkhosi waseMelika kunye nenkcubeko yethu yemfazwe yasekhaya kufuneka ihlale ine-villain, isizathu, imfazwe. Iimali ezinkulu kufuneka zisetyenziswe, izixhobo zifakwe ngokukhawuleza, abantu babulawa, izixeko zichithwe.

Ngoku, i-Ukraine ingumtya nethunga.

Abanye banyusa amagxa bathi imfazwe isemathanjeni ethu. Ngelixa ubundlobongela bunokuba yinxalenye yeDNA yethu, ukubulawa okucwangcisiweyo kwemfazwe ehleliweyo akunjalo. Yindlela yokuziphatha efundiweyo leyo. Oorhulumente bayila, bayenza yagqibelela ukuze ihambisele phambili ubukhosi babo, ibe babengenakuyiqhubela phambili ngaphandle kwenkxaso yabemi bayo.

Ke ngoko, thina bemi kufuneka sikhohliswe, sondliwe ibali, intsomi yobuqhophololo kunye nezizathu zobulungisa. Intsomi yemfazwe. Thina “singabantu abalungileyo,” asenzi nto iphosakeleyo, ukubulala kulungile, ububi kufuneka bupheliswe. Ibali lihlala lifana. Kuphela lithafa ledabi kunye “nabangendawo” abaguqukayo. Ngamanye amaxesha, njengakwimeko yaseRashiya, "abangendawo" bahlaziywa kwaye basetyenziswe kwakhona. IMelika iqhushumbise ilizwe elizimeleyo yonke imihla kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini idlulileyo, eIraq, eAfghanistan, eSomalia naseYemen. Ukanti loo nto ayiyonxalenye yebali esizixelela yona.

Ukusukela ekuweni kweSoviet Union, sisebenzise iNATO ukujikeleza iRussia. Umkhosi wethu kunye nooManyano bethu be-NATO- iitanki kunye nemijukujelwa yenyukliya kunye neejethi zokulwa- ziye zaya kumda waseRussia ngendlela evuselelayo neyonzayo. Ngaphandle kweziqinisekiso i-NATO ayizukwanda ukuze ibandakanye amazwe angaphambili e-Soviet bloc, siyenzile kanye loo nto. Sixhobe i-Ukraine, sanciphisa izisombululo zediplomatic ezifana ne-Minsk Protocol, sadlala indima kwi-coup ka-2014 eyakhupha urhulumente apho kwaye yafaka i-pro-Western.

Besiya kusabela njani ukuba amaRashiya ebevalelwe ngamanani amakhulu kumda waseKhanada? Ukuba amaTshayina aqhube umlo womlilo ophilayo kunxweme lwaseCalifornia? Ngo-1962 xa iiSoviets zafaka imijukujelwa eCuba, umsindo wethu wawumkhulu kangangokuba salithatha ilizwe lasa kumngcipheko wemfazwe yenyukliya.

Imbali yethu ende yokufaka amanye amazwe kowethu, ukugxuphuleka kunyulo lwangaphandle, ukubhukuqa oorhulumente, ukuhlasela amanye amazwe, ukuthuthunjiswa, kusishiya singenandawo yokuthetha xa abanye besaphula umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe. Kodwa akubonakali ngathi kumthintela urhulumente wethu, iindaba zethu zeendaba, ezethu ukuba ziphindaphinde intsomi yemfazwe yabantu baseMelika njengabalungileyo kunye naye wonke umntu ongendawo. Sele ilibali lethu elaxesha lokulala, elibangela iphupha elibi.

Sifike kweli nqanaba lomngcipheko eMpuma Yurophu kuba siphulukene namandla okubona ihlabathi ngeliso lomnye. Sibona ngamehlo ejoni, ijoni laseMelika, hayi ummi. Sivumele indlela yokuziphatha yasemkhosini ukuba ichaze indlela esiziphethe ngayo abantu, kwaye ke imbono yethu iba nobutshaba, ukucinga kwethu okuchaseneyo, umbono wethu wehlabathi uzaliswe ziintshaba. Kodwa kwidemokhrasi, ngabemi abafanele kulawula, kungekhona amajoni.

Kwaye ke umjelo ongapheliyo wepropaganda, ukuchazwa okugwenxa kwembali yethu, kunye nokuzukiswa kwemfazwe, kudala isimo sengqondo somkhosi kuninzi lwethu. Ngaloo ndlela kuba nzima ukuqonda ukuziphatha kwezinye iintlanga, ukuqonda uloyiko lwazo, iinkxalabo zazo. Sazi kuphela ibali lethu elenziweyo, intsomi yethu, sikhathalela kuphela izinto ezisikhathazayo, kwaye ke sisemfazweni ngonaphakade. Siba ngabaxhokonxi kunokuba sibe ngabadali boxolo.

Uhlaselo lomkhosi kufuneka lupheliswe, ukuchas’ umthetho kwamazwe ngamazwe kugwetywe, kuhlonelwe imida yemimandla, ukunyhashwa kwamalungelo oluntu kutshutshiswe. Ukwenza loo nto kufuneka sibonise indlela yokuziphatha esithi siyixabisile, siyenze ngendlela eya kuthi ifundeke kuye ngamnye wethu nakwihlabathi liphela. Kungelo xesha kuphela abaya kuthi abanxaxhayo babe mbalwa yaye babe ngamakheswa ngokwenene, bangakwazi ukusebenza kwibala lezizwe ngezizwe, ngaloo ndlela bathintelwe ekuphumezeni iinjongo zabo ezingekho mthethweni.

I-Ukraine akufuneki ihlupheke ngokuhlaselwa yiRashiya. Kwaye iRussia bekungafanelanga ukuba ibe nokhuseleko kunye nokhuseleko lwayo isoyikiswa kukwandiswa kwe-NATO kunye nezixhobo. Ngaba ngokwenene asinakho ukusombulula ezi ngxaki ngaphandle kokuxhelana? Ngaba ingqiqo yethu ilinganiselwe, umonde wethu omfutshane, ubuntu bethu bubolile kangangokuba kufuneka sibuyele ekreleni ngokuphindaphindiweyo? Imfazwe ayimiselwanga ngokwemfuza emathanjeni ethu, yaye ezi ngxaki azibangelwanga nguThixo. Senza kubo, kunye neentsomi ezingqongileyo, kwaye ngoko sinako unmake kubo. Kufuneka sikukholelwe oku ukuba siza kusinda.
